power plan

Hey. So like a year ago I got some water on my Dell g3 and the battery got fucked up (also the keyboard). I can't spend on a battery right now because I have to import it from another country and it's kinda expensive. So I unplugged the battery and I'm using the laptop plugged in all the time...

Minimum processor state in advanced power settings does not make any difference in Windows 10/11 no matter what I set it to or what plan is active. Changing the Maximum processor state works just fine. I'm currently running Windows 11, but I had the same issue when using 10, so I imagine the...

Until recently I had in my notebook a battery. I removed it due to defects and don't want to buy a new one. Unfortunately the boot process slows down dramatically. It now takes approx. 5-10 minutes until Windows 7 shows the Login screen. I guess its because the hardware related detection parts...

After a recent Windows 10 update, I am getting no video to monitor after 2 minutes or so of idle. The OS version is 1607 and the build is 14393.1066. Before the update, computer was running fine. Power plan was not changed. After the update, I noticed that Microsoft added more power plans...

Hi, I was maxing out my CPU with prime95 for 30min and the temps was good around 60c Then I did close prime95 and I did open it again to run it and it did only manage to push the CPU to 80% according to task manager and as my fans did not start to run at full speed I guess it was correct that it...

For some reason my computer has just started turning the brightness on my laptop to 100% when the battery is connected. This is a seriously pain in my eyes and i usually keep my brightness around 20 unless watched videos. So at first i would just alter the display settings of the 'Balanced...

I'm having a problem with my screen brightness setting. I'm currently using a (very old) dell latitude e6400 with Windows 7 while my normal laptop is being repaired. The battery is shot, so it only runs for about 30 seconds without being plugged in. A few days ago, the screen went extremely dim...
